This table was made in Vancouver from materials used in the construction of the iron workers memorial bridge from our understanding. The live edge wood was then made into a table. It was used as a boardroom table in a north vancouver office and is now up for auction..

From our understanding this rare table was created by an unknown craftsman who lovingly built the table from twisted iron
and wood pieces retrieved from the fatal collapse of the bridge during its construction on June 17,
1958. 19 in total perished as a result of the disaster.
The table was then purchased by a North Vancouver business and was used in their boardroom for
over 20 years. Upon moving, the company sold the table to Jeff Schwarz, A.K.A., "The Liquidator"
and is now going up for auction. "I'm hoping this table will go to a home that honours its significance
for those that sacrificed during the tragic collapse of the bridge so our communities could benefit
from the magnificent crossing. This table is a sombre reminder of the workers' commitment to their
craft", says Schwarz.
This beautiful table is 132 inches in length, 46 inches in width and 30 inches in height. Made of 2
large slabs of wood and welded steel base, this iconic piece is perfect for any boardroom,
restaurant, art gallery or large dining room.
